From the recording Songs from Ray's Garage
Lyrics
Brand New Life
Ten miles out of Texas and I begin to feel the heat
As I walk along a dusty road that’s burning at my feet
Home’s a long way off now but I can find my way
It’s been a long time and I’ve got a lot of things to say
For years I was forgotten most pretend they didn’t know
The things that I was into, the places I would go
The people I was seein’, man, I had some fun
But I’ve paid a high price for things I ain’t even done
But I’ve got a woman who’s waiting for me
She’s gonna be my wife
The governor done pardoned me, the warden, well, he set me free
I’ve got a Brand New Life
Well I know a lot of people but they ain’t friends of mine
A lot of people come and go and take up too much time
I’ve had to spend a lot of years just staring at four walls
In the end there’s only one you can depend on at all
But I’ve got a woman who’s waiting for me
She’s gonna be my wife
The governor done pardoned me, the warden, well, he set me free
I’ve got a Brand New Life
